Is there a way to make personal super hidden files and folders? I want to
hide my folders from view for added security but don't think the ordinary way to hide files/folders is enough and would like to know if it is possible to hide them just like the system-hidden files/folders. Thanks for your time and help. |

You can use the attrib command to set attributes to files such as system and
hidden but IMHO it is of little value as a security measure. If a user does not have read permissions to a folder the user can not see them assuming NTFS file system is used. Of course any user that is or can become an administrator can grant themselves access to non encrypted files. --- Steve http://www.computerhope.com/attribhl.htm --- Attrib syntax "Rigo" <micuentade@correo.com> wrote in message news:u3G5wKhLGHA.2668@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > Is there a way to make personal super hidden files and folders?
